    Since 2005, Dave Spoon (real name: Simon Neale) has been churning 12″s and remixes for such artists as Pet Shop Boys and Robyn to name a few. This track can be found on Dave Spoon’s at Night EP which was released September 2006.

    This particular track has a killer lead line and a spoken word sample that says, “7 times out of 10, we listen to our music at night.” — killer

  • Hot Bitch Arsenal – Double Down Quick

    Mixing a Morceeba vibe with an Imogen Heap (of Frou Frou) sensibility to production lies Hot Bitch Arsenal’s sound. This track has a really well rounded sound with jazzy house guitars and a driving beat similar to Sneark pimps.

    Hot Bitch Arsenal – Double Down Quick

    This is going down nicely today with the over-cast rainy Saturday afternoon.

  • Octet – Hey Bonus

    This is a prime example of how to use a sample of a harpsichord in a track. Octet from France is about to release their forthcoming album. This track is taken off the Duo’s first release from 2004, called “Cash & Carry”. The vocals on this track remind me of the Beatles, just listen and see – trust me on this one.

    Octet is Francois Goujon (other alias is Pyjaman and is part of of the musical collective in Paris called evenement) and Benjamin Morando, who is also a member of D*I*R*T*Y Sound System and France Copland.
